She teaches for the love of safety for all and believes everyone can benefit from learning any martial art. She genuinely cares for the safety and well-being of people, especially women and children.

God has blessed her with the ability to teach karate and she is able to share Him with students. Buffy and her husband, David, have 5 children whom they homeschool.
